Chapter 50: Hawkeye Barton
Eventually, Dr. Connors agreed to Nick's invitation.
The reason is simple, the Ph.D. itself wants to continue with the research that he has not done.
After all, this is his hard work for many years, and Connors doesn't want to give him up directly because of some episodes, plus Nick also clearly promised that this lizard serum, if Connors is unwilling, can take it for himself, without handing it over to S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. will also provide all the funds and equipment for Connors to study.
In exchange, Connors was to remain with S.H.I.E.L.D. as a commissioner and work for S.H.I.E.L.D. for at least ten years. During this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. would also pay Connors to the highest standards, almost no different from other companies.
It seems that Nick suffers a loss, but in fact, it is Nick's blood gain.
After all, Connors is the existence of the ceiling in this aspect of the Marvel world, both in intelligence and ability, it is top-notch.
With this hands-on ability alone, even if you add a few conditions to Connors, Nick feels fine.
After all, in terms of serum technology, they are still far inferior to Osborne, which has always been a weakness of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although they have biological geniuses from all over the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. also have biological geniuses from all over the world, if you compare them to Dr. Connors, they don't look good.
As for when he would start working, Dr. Connors said that the room was a good place to stay and that he wanted to stay in it for a few more days.
Although Nick didn't understand his idea, he still accepted it gladly.
Anyway, as long as I can see Connors in the lab in a few days, as for the rest, let him go.
Anyway, geniuses seem to have this problem that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
Stark, for example, likes to stay in the area and talk nonsense to a bunch of non-talking machines and make a bunch of exaggerated actions.
Of course, this scene must not be seen by outsiders, and Nick only saw it by chance when he went to Stark's house.
Then Stark put him on the blacklist for two whole months.
After dealing with playing Connors, Nick also felt a lot more relaxed, and just remembered that he hadn't seen Dr. Banner much since he asked him to come to S.H.I.E.L.D., so he thought that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the day, and now go to see how they are doing.
It's not that Nick deliberately left them tucked, but there were just too many things in the front time.
Nick has been busy almost for the past half a month, where and when to go to Dr. Banner's to see.
So, after throwing away all the work in his hands, Nick went to a hidden corner alone.
There is an old elevator stored here, which has been abandoned for some years, but under Nick's operation, the elevator actually started strangely.
It wasn't connected to the power supply, but when it was just functioning, it took Nick all the way down to a place with only a faint light.
Nick didn't stop too much after the elevator stopped, but after making sure there were no other people around or tracker bugs, he stepped out of the elevator and came to another elevator entrance after a full ten minutes of winding and turning.
It's still a classic industrial elevator, except that there is only one button in this elevator, and there is no number marked yet.
After pressing the button, the elevator took Nick all the way forward, and I don't know how long the tunnel was, only to see rows of lights flashing on both sides, and finally stopped at the location of a gate.
The elevator stopped, and Nick slowly stepped out of the elevator door again, entered the code, and turned on the switch of the door in front of him.
As the door slowly opened, an incomparably vast field also appeared in front of Nick.
At this moment, he was actually in a stand nearly 100 meters high, with a crowd of people constantly walking below, as well as countless electronic screens, plus a bunch of strange things, which even Nick didn't recognize.
In the center, in a sophisticated instrument, a model of a cube emitting blue light is stored.
A glowing blue light emanated from the cube like a Pandora's box, and anyone who looked at it twice couldn't help but want to get close to it.
"They just put the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in such a conspicuous place?"
Nick seemed a little dissatisfied with the place where the Cosmic Cube was placed, and with his hands behind his back, he took a big stride into the venue.
Looking at the very familiar faces below, Nick looked a little unhappy.
The staff below are all staff members who have participated in the Pegasus Project before, and they are very familiar with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
So after changing venues, Nick definitely continued to hire them to do research for himself.
The site is located beneath an abandoned factory outside New York.
Almost no one has been able to find this place, not even within S.H.I.E.L.D., which is not registered.
Even the staff present at the scene, without the guidance of the designated person, have no way to get back here after going out.
Except, of course, Nick.
He created this place.
The last incident also taught Nick a lesson, the ordinary base is too obvious.
So instead of swaggering outside to study, it is better to build an underground base.
Even if something happens here, as long as it is handled properly, it will not be noticed by outsiders.
"Doctor, they think that this place is very hidden and safe, and it is impossible for anyone to break into here to rob the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so after each experiment and test the data, they simply don't bother to recycle it, so they put it on it, just enough to observe the changes in the data of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube twenty-four hours a day."
At this time, a man with a bow and arrow on his back walked over.
The man has short and energetic hair, looking like he is in his thirties, although his figure is not much taller, it is invisible, giving people a sense of danger.
It's like, no matter how far you run, no matter how fast you run, he can pull out the bow and arrow from his back and shoot you straight through.
"Agent Patton, don't come unharmed."
Looking at his cronies, Hawkeye Patton, Nick smiled.
Barton is the head of this area, and only a cronie like Barton can Nick rest assured that this area will be managed by him.
It's the same as Nick never worries about Natasha's mission.
"Long time no see, Director."
Barton also looked at Nick and smiled, but I don't know if it was because the man rarely smiled, so his smile looked a little scary.
"Forget it, you better stop laughing, it seems like a good choice to keep a stinky face."
Nick didn't want to see this smile either, so he immediately waved his hand.
